The Counseling Psychology Doctoral Program is committed to diversity, adheres to the
APA (standards) for multicultural competence, and embeds this initiative throughout
the program curricula. The Counseling Psychology Doctoral Program strives to produce
culturally competent professional psychologists who are advocates for social justice
and well equipped to meet the needs of a diverse clientele. Furthermore, the program
strives to provide a supportive and encouraging learning environment for the training
of diverse individuals and providing opportunities in diverse settings for a broad
spectrum of individuals. The program avoids any restrictions that are irrelevant to
success in graduate training.

Thus, the program has the expectation that faculty and students “are aware of and
respect cultural, individual, and role differences including those based on age, gender,
gender identity, race, ethnicity, culture, national origin, religion, sexual orientation,
disability, language, and socioeconomic status” (APA Ethics Code, 2002, Principle
E, p. 1063).

Louisiana Tech is an equal opportunity institution that values diversity. Candidates
of all backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
